LFC_SYMLINK(3) LFC Library Functions LFC_SYMLINK(3) NAME
lfc_symlink - make a symbolic link to a file or a directory in the LFC Name Server SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include "lfc_api.h" int lfc_symlink (const char *target, const char *linkname) DESCRIPTION
lfc_symlink makes a symbolic link to a file or a directory in the LFC Name Server. linkname specifies the link name relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname. RETURN VALUE
This routine returns 0 if the operation was successful or -1 if the operation failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT A component of linkname prefix does not exist. EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of linkname prefix or write permission on linkname parent directory is denied. EFAULT target or linkname is a NULL pointer. EEXIST linkname exists already. ENOTDIR A component of linkname prefix is not a directory. ENOSPC The name server database is full. ENAMETOOLONG The length of target or linkname exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a linkname component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SENOSSERV Service unknown. SECOMERR Communication error. SELOOP Too many symbolic links encountered when parsing linkname. ENSNACT Name server is not running or is being shutdown. SEE ALSO

LFC_OPENDIR(3) LFC Library Functions LFC_OPENDIR(3) NAME
lfc_opendir - open a LFC directory in the name server SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include "lfc_api.h" lfc_DIR *lfc_opendir (const char *path) DESCRIPTION
lfc_opendir opens a LFC directory in the name server to be used in subsequent lfc_readdir operations. A lfc_DIR structure and a buffer to cache the directory entries are allocated in the client API. path specifies the logical pathname relative to the current LFC directory or the full LFC pathname. RETURN VALUE
This routine returns a pointer to be used in the subsequent directory function calls if the operation was successful or NULL if the opera- tion failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT A component of path prefix does not exist or path is a null pathname. EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or read permission is denied on path. EFAULT path is a NULL pointer. ENOTDIR A component of path prefix is not a directory. ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SENOSSERV Service unknown. SECOMERR Communication error. ENSNACT Name server is not running or is being shutdown. SEE ALSO
